A DECORATIONS company in Normandy has created the UK’s largest artificial Christmas tree.

The mammoth tree, made by Springfield Decorations & Display Ltd, measures 27.85 metres tall and is adorned with 18,000 baubles and 96,000 LED lights.

It was constructed especially for the Cheshire Oaks Designer Outlet at Ellesmere Port, Liverpool.

In Surrey, the company has created schemes for Guildford’s Tunsgate Centre as well as Godalming Town Council.
